Hemistorms “RC4WD TF2 – Designing, Clearcoating and Detailing”

Hemistorm DOES IT AGAIN! OH SO NiCE! Here’s a Quote from the Spray Painting Master

Chris de Graaf – Today I’m finishing up the paintwork on my RC4WD TrailFinder2.I want it to look as 80′s as possible, so I went for a clashing-color-paintscheme in red and blue, with some very linear graphics. The panel division on the sides is something that just happened along the line, if you want to do a custom design on a hardbody, just go with what feels right to you.

HemiStorm chats Primer & Prep for his RC4WD Trail Finder 2!

I’ve gotten myself a RC4WD TrailFinder 2, a scale crawler that I’ve been meaning to get for a long time. Fitment of the various quality parts is absolutely effortless, the finish is off the hook! Now to get this rig ready for the trails I have read up a little on how to prepare and paint up a hard body. This is a first time for me doing this, so I’m very excited to learn something new, and hopefully get some good result. There were a few minor problems I ran into when getting into all the details of mocking up the Mojave body, however: so far this car is just excellent. I know the pricetag might scare some people off, but you absolutely get your money’s worth!

The Magic of RC – Father & Son

RC What Not… from Black Olive Media.com on Vimeo.

There is nothing better for me, both as an active Radio Control hobbyist – and as a media-based website owner, then to see a Father and Son sharing an amazing time with RC in a Video! The below description is from the Video creator – Jason Van Sickel

“A new hobby I’ve got the kids into. I had to get my own RC truck, I was tired of sharing RCSparks Studio Photography plus, I was traumatized as a young boy when my dad gave me my first toy grade RC car. I drove it only once. Then he drove it and proceeded to break it…never saw the car again! Anyway…RC has progressed since the 70′s into something amazing and I’ve since gone to therapy about it.
Traxxas Ford F150 Raptor SCT’s just plain, bone stock. No performance improvements. My son and I went out at the last minute before sunset and tried to grab a few shots of us running the trucks. Well, it’s hard to film and drive, so he did most of the driving. Which, by the way, he is pretty darn good! quite the precision driver to say the least!”
